We make a chutney in maharashtra called as 'Kavathachi chutney' (don't know what Kavath-is called in english) it has a very sour pulp and seeds, inside a hard shell and we add jaggery and some chilli powder to make a chutney. your photo remimded me of that!

Bee you are right :) ..Well done!! it IS Chakka Varatti!!.:) (.banana haiwa looks the same too..but..if you would have been a little logical abt excempting plantains as the entries for JFI-bananas just getting over..could have made the single right guess..:))
